The mystery plant that my father and I were trying to figure out and I think now that it has bloomed, I think it's Sweet William. Mystery solved? Whatever it is, it's really pretty and lived all winter outside. Finally, a plant I can leave alone and enjoy!

I've been buying frozen tilapia that comes in little sealed bags....they thaw in like 5 minutes in some warm water and bake at 400 for about 17-22 minutes...so easy and good! I just sprinkle garlic powder, salt and pepper, little bit of curry and drizzle olive oil on top.

I made alfredo (from scratch!) for the first time and it was like pure creamy nectar. So, i tried it on the fish and it was sooo good cause I usually like this fish with a "creamy" sidekick. So, anyways, I topped with a 'swirl' of Sriracha with some capers. Yumm.

We have officially found our favorite sushi place...in Green Hills of all places. The prices are great...especially for the amount of food you're getting. And, it is so consistently good. Everytime we go, it is seemingly more delicious than before. We looooove it.

Our lovely neighbors are moving (sad face) and while packing they found this atlas which is absolutely beautiful. And they gave it to us? Ah, we're going to miss them.
I was told that I cannot cut it up and I understand completely. It'd be like killing a unicorn.

I know D gets so tired of eating this, but I love this meal! We have been on a low carb diet for almost a year now and this is soooooo easy (and delicious). I make this Sunday night and snack on it all week...

I found some clay beads I made with my beautiful cousin Leah a long time ago...and it was time to finally paint them and make something with them. (Another attempt to be productive over spring break...)

I also had these doll arms which I've been wanting to turn into earrings for quite some time....

Tada!

Found these awesome jumbo beads at the thrift store....

I did a latex paint half-dip and love the way they turned out.

The girls and I had a Sculpey day last week and made some fun pendants and beads.

Here's my plans...

Oh and here's the dipping'drying system I came up with for the jumbo beads...
